About Me

I'm a Pre-Final year B.Tech (Information Technology) student at Chennai Institute of Technology (CGPA 8.45/10), passionate about building scalable backend architectures and shipping products that hold up in production.

I've interned across Amazon, Microsoft and fast-moving startups — working on supply-chain tooling, MCP-driven Copilot automation, and real-time full-stack platforms. I love turning complex systems into clean, reliable APIs.

Outside of building, I'm a serious competitive programmer — LeetCode Guardian (2169, Top 1.06%), CodeChef 4★, and Codeforces Specialist — which keeps my problem-solving sharp.
